embryology

the study of prenatal development

prenatal development

• begins with the start of pregnancy and continues until the birth of the child

• 9 month gestation period divided into 3 trimesters

primordium

• the earliest indication of a tissue type or an organ during prenatal development

preimplantation period

• begins during first week after conception

• most congenital malformations (birth defects) occur during both the preimplantation and embryonic period

• a woman’s ovum is penetrated by sperm during fertilization and final stage of meiosis occurs in ovum

• zygote (fertilized egg) forms

  • undergoes mitosis to form cleavage

  • becomes morula

  • becomes vesicle known as blastocyst

  • end of first week blastocyst implants into endometrium

congenital malformations

• birth defects

• evident at birth

• most occur during both the preimplantation period and the embryonic period

amniocentesis

• amniotic fluid test (AFT)

• is a prenatal diagnostic procedure to detect chromosomal abnormalities where the amniotic fluid is removed and its fetal cells are grown for microscopic study of the chromosomes and sampled for other fetal complications

Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT)

• new type of prenatal genetic test that does not pose any risk

• a cell free fetal DNA testing that involves a simple blood draw from the pregnant women

zygote

fertilized egg

meiosis

• joining of chromosomes from both biologic parents forms a new individual with “shuffled” chromosomes

• joining of sperm and ovum creates a diploid cell with 46 chromosomes (23 from dad, 23 from mom)

• this diploid cell goes through meiosis to shuffle genetic material and form 4 haploid daughter cells with 23 chromosomes

cleavage

• After implantation, the zygote undergoes mitosis (individual cell divison) that splits it into more and more cells

morula

• after initial cleavage

• the solid ball of cells

• gets its name for having the appearance of a mulberrry

blastocyst

• Due to the ongoing process of mitosis and secretion of fluid by the cells within the morula, the zygote becomes a vesicle known as a blastocyst

• also known as blastula

• travels down the fallopian tube then undergoes implantation in the endometrium lining of the uterus

• associated with factors that delay or prevent transport of the dividing zygote to the uterus

embryonic period

• the second period of prenatal development

• extends from the beginning of the second week to the end of the eighth week

induction
